03-21-13: Half My Life's In Books' Written Pages

"We Have All The Time In The World" is a James Bond theme from the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The music was composed by John Barry and the lyrics by Hal David. The title is taken from Bond's last words in the movie and book, delivered after his wife's death.  Louis Armstrong was chosen to perform the song but was too ill to play the trumpet. Nevertheless, Barry chose Armstrong because he felt he could "deliver the title line with irony". This mix features Armstrong's original version along with versions by My Bloody Valentine and Iggy Pop.

One other song repeats this week, the album and demo version of Roy Orbison's posthumously released "She's A Mystery To Me", co-written by U2's Bono and The Edge.

The rest: Aerosmith's dramatic "Dream On", a 1969 live version of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" by Rashaan Roland Kirk, the James Brown-sampoling "Do The James" by Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud, Bullion's J Dilla-inspired reworking of the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice", Esther Phillips' version of The Originals' Marving Gaye-written "Baby, I'm For Real", the funky "Buck Tha Devil" by Da Lench Mob, a demo version of "Add It Up" by The Violent Femmes, a demo version of "Give It Up For Love" by Ned Doheny, an acoustic version of "To Live And Die In L.A." by Wang Chung, a murky alternate take of "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac, Pusha T's mechanical "Suicide" with Ab-Liva, Frank Sinatra's version of Sonny Bono's standard "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", a later version of "Your Daddy Loves You" by Gil Scott-Heron, an alternate version of Randy Newman's "Marie", Francoise Hardy's version of Newman's "I Think It's Going To Rain Today" and a cover The The Zombies' "The Way I Feel Inside" by Phox.
